Benjamin is out. Hunt, next man up?
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Looks like the coaches are kicking the tires on Kareem Hunt. RB depth with the suspension looming looks to be a priority. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ame-suspension...

Vet min? Prove it deal?
Baylor beast and former Saint Abram Smith signed elsewhere. In all seriousness, other than for preseason, do we need a 4th RB? | |

Re: Benjamin is out. Hunt, next man up?
The caveat is if you sign a vet prior to game one that vet is guaranteed 17 paychecks. Otherwise, the team is only committed to a game by game obligation.

Re: Benjamin is out. Hunt, next man up?
Can he play Linebacker? Do we need that many RB1's?

As far as LB depth goes, I thought the resident "experts" said we are good there. We lose Demario, we are in trouble. Noticed the Eagles signed both Cunningham and Jack? They understand good depth. At least L.D.Bell (Dennis) is trying though bringing in experienced guys this off season. |

Re: Benjamin is out. Hunt, next man up?
Just read that Hunt is looking for more than just a veteran minimum deal. Time to move on to another option.

Re: Benjamin is out. Hunt, next man up?
A good running game will do wonders for this offense. I say give Hunt more than the vet minimum and let's do this.
